First seen May 06, 2026 · Last updated Jun 14, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This study is looking at why some people need stronger pain medicine (opioids) after having their wisdom teeth removed, while others get enough relief from ibuprofen alone. Researchers will study 200 adults to find factors that predict who needs extra painkillers. The goal is to help doctors prescribe opioids only when truly needed, reducing the risk of opioid misuse.
